Barceló Hotel Group will be partnering Spain's football league LaLiga and Spanish Extravaganza to host the second edition of the gastronomic festival in the UAE from September 15-17. 

 

The international event is set to celebrate the gastronomic heritage, culture and traditions of Spain in general, and this year will focus on the Principality of Asturias. 

 

The group will commemorate the festival across Dukes The Palm, A Royal Hideaway Hotel and Occidental Al Jaddaf, at the new Spanish restaurant Carmen, according to a statement from the hotel group.

 

This year, Spanish Extravaganza will be partnering with Asturex, the Trade Promotion Agency of Asturias, to offer guests a culinary experience showcasing Asturian gourmet products and its creations. 

 

Michelin Star Chef Ricardo Sotres will be the host for a series of live gastronomic experiences at the two hotels.

"We are honoured to partner with LaLiga and Spanish Extravaganza for the second consecutive year.”

 

LaLiga Managing Director Mena Maite Ventura added: “Spanish Extravaganza is an international reference festival in the promotion of Spanish gastronomic culture and working hand in hand for the second consecutive year with Barceló Hotel Group is a motivating project for us.”
